Mistake in Gamertags

Leeowo · Apr 7, 2020

So basically, earlier today I decided to "change" my gamertag for the third time. I knew I couldn't because I've used my
free attempt. I was confused at first because I got a third gamertag change attempt, but I was like meh whatever atleast I get another
free one. I was happy that I got to change it because I hated my previous one. As I was about to click
"Change Gamertag?" I read "Your new gamertag will be displayed in Apps and games like this > felqui#1459" thinking the
hashtag of numbers had nothing to do with the gamertag and it had something to do with God knows what. Becuase of quarantine and the COVID-19, I do not gain money and connot afford to change it. I'm upset about this because
Xbox doesn't state clearly that they will add numbers at the end of your new gamertag. And, I think it's very stupid to have to pay
10$, or evenpay at all. It's just a bunch of digital letters. Is there a way toreverse this?

It all depends if you choose a gamertag thats already been used. Thats the reason you getting the #0000 at the end. New gamertag system is a bit similar to discord username, those #0000 are there so you can have any gamertag you want without adding extra
characters or random words to come up with a unique gamertag.

Limited time to fix errors, not a complete edit. You could have a confirmation message saying gamertag blahblah will be permanently changed within X time, please review and edit mistakes.

As they have said its not possible unless you pay for another change.

Unfortunately not. Only the first change is free and now if you need to change your gamertag you will need to pay the fees.

The #0000 at the end are part of the new gamertag system. If you don't want the numbers to be displayed at the end of your gamertag then you'll have to come up with a gamertag thats unused by anyone. Any unused gamertags will not have the #0000 at the
end, so if you don't want the numbers, keep trying different gamertags until you find one that isn't already taken.
